Yes..I thought that too - although I couldn't see why turning on the KPL1 button would have triggered a status change. Anyway, I had tried the separate program before posting, and posted this just to keep it simpler. Even running the Else (or Then) path of the separate program that just turns off the KPL1 button, KPL1 still goes off an instant after it is pressed and goes on. Again, it stays on properly if I hit it a second time (after the lamps are on). I'm thinking the problem has something to do with the timing of when the ISY is evaluating on or the other of the OutletLincs. I'm stumped.

Almost there...but have some sort of timing issue that I don't understand... Scene "Left Lamp" - Controlled by KPL Button 3, Responder is OutletLinc Dimmer #1 (lamp). Scene "Right Lamp" - Controlled by KPL Button 4. Responder is OutletLinc Dimmer #2 (lamp). Scene "Both Lamps" - Controlled by KPL Button 1. Responders are the two OutletLinc Dimmers, KPL Button 3, and KPL Button 4. What I want is to switch on KPL Button 1 - get both lamps on, and KPL 1, KPL 3 and KPL 4 to light up. If I turn off KPL 3, the left lamp goes off, KPL 3 and KPL 1 go off. If I turn off KPL 4, the right lamp goes off, KPL 4 and KPL 1 go off. This all works fine EXCEPT when I turn KPL 1, KPL 1 goes on, but immediately goes off (correctly leaving both lamps on and KPL 3 and KPL 4 on). If I turn KPL 1 on AGAIN, it correctly stays on, and correctly goes off if I turn either KPL3 or KPL 4 off. Program I'm using: If Status OutletLinc Dimmer #1 is OFF OR Status OutletLinc Dimmer #2 is OFF Then Set KPL Button 1 Off. Else (nothing) It's as if the ISY takes an instant before it recognizes both Outlets are on. What am I missing? Or do I need to add a delay somewhere? Or use different logic in the program? Or ?? Thanks. I have a ton of these to do, and I'd like to know how to handle this simple case before doing too many. And if there's a simpler way to handle than what I'm doing...

Objective: From a KPL button in my bedroom: 1) See if any light on the first floor is not off (KPL button lit up) 2) If any are not off, turn all first floor lights off (without having to turn on any that are already off) I have a scene: First Floor All If I link a KPL button to control this scene, will the KPL button light up whenever any device listed in the First Floor All scene is on (or not off). Or does this requirement require a ISY programming? Before I start, I'd appreciate any tips on the simplest way to get to this simple objective. Thanks

Odd because once I got the ramp rate set in a scene, that ramp rate has stayed in the outlet and is applied locally (even when I turn on the lamp at the lamp itself when the outlet is already hot). And this continues even after I've deleted the scene and taken the controller in the scene totally offline. I'll mess with it some over the weekend and see if I can reset the ramp rate by putting in another scene...

Thanks, LeeG. I'm glad someone with more experience with the ISY can confirm the problem. Let me know if you find a solution. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up before...would seem to be a fairly common task. Isn't it common to put a different ramp rate to each dimmer outlet, and isn't using the Admin Console the easiest way to do that? If there's another way to get the local ramp rate set to an OutletLinc Dimmer, please let me know how. Thanks again.

Ok. Thanks. So apparently the ramp rate associated with the PLM is not getting changed even though I'm using the Admin Console, and the Admin Console tells me the ramp rate is 0.3 seconds. When I turn the lamp on from the Admin Console, it is using a much longer ramp rate. When I turn the lamp off at the lamp, and turn it back on (with the OutletLinc being 'on' the entire time, ie without sending any command to the outlet via the ISY), the lightbulb ramps up using a much longer ramp time than the 0.3 seconds that the Admin Console says it should. Any way to get that ramp rate changed?

New installation, new user. I have a lamp plugged into an OutletLinc Dimmer. I tried several times to change the ramp rate in the ISY. It would change, and the ISY would say it was updating the outlet. But the ramp rate wouldn't change. Would always come on immediately. Next night I tried again. Same problem. I just couldn't change the ramp rate to the outlet. Next night, I added another device (Open/Close Sensor) and then added a scene in which the sensor was the controller and the outlet was the responder. When setting up the scene, I used a very slow ramp rate - and somehow that got properly transmitted to the outlet. Now the slow ramp rate is local, at the outlet. Now I can't get it changed back to a faster ramp rate. I've tried moving the slider on "Ramp Rate". I've tried right-clicking on the device in the left pane and selecting both "Write Updates to Device" and "Restore Device." Restore Device shows the pop-up that says it's writing to the device...but nothing changes. The screen will show the 0.3 sec ramp rate, but the ramp time will actually be more than 10 seconds. Setting the "On Level" works fine. I haven't yet messed around with setting up another scene with a faster ramp rate and see if, again, the scene logic somehow gets the ramp rate sent to the outlet. Before continuing to try and figure this out myself, I wondered if there is something I'm doing wrong, or some trick to when/how to send commands to a device via the ISY. Thanks for any comments/guidance/ideas.
